How to paint camo?

[mattg2448]

I used Rapco's spray bombs, 383 base, and for camo, 383 brown and flat black, I used the pattern, but not quite sure with one, i know it was on Jatonka's website. I think it came out alright, but I'm not please with the paint itself. It seems like satin, and it just doesn't hold up to scratches and wear and tear.I may experiment using Behr out door latex paints, i like the flatness and durability seems perfect for me!

So do most people free hand it or do most people tape it off? If you free hand it how to you keep from getting too much overspray?

free hand is the way to go

Definitely freehand. The crisp, clean lines from tape would not look right. Never mind how much longer it would take.
